 Two years after the apparent death of Oryx in the [[Taken War]], a previously unknown [[Savathûn's Hive|Hive brood]] infested the abandoned [[Golden Age]] [[New Pacific Arcology|arcologies]] on the moon of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], led by powerful Hive such as [[Naktal, Fury of Savathûn]], [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], and [[Vanbaluk, Trusted of Savathûn]]. [[Ghost]] scans of various Hive artifacts further linked the new brood to Savathûn. Most disturbing of all, a fireteam of Guardians was lost during an incursion into the New Pacific Arcology, Operation Caliban, and were discovered to have been converted by the Hive into crystals containing [[Void Light]]. These crystals were intended to feed a summoning ritual for her, the centerpiece of which was a massive [[Shrieker]] titled "[[Savathûn's Song]]". With the aid of the [[Praxic Warlocks|Praxic]] [[Warlock]] [[Taeko-3]], the Guardian fought through the depths of the Arcology and destroyed the crystals and the Song, disrupting the summoning ritual.

 On [[Io]], Taken forces led by [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria]] have attempted to corrupt the Vex collective at the [[Pyramidion]], only to fail due to the [[Guardian]]'s intervention. Furthermore, a Red Legion commander, [[Grask, the Consumed]] was encountered as a Taken; the Red Legion only had a presence in Sol ''after'' Oryx's death, so this serves as further indication that Savathûn has achieved domination over the Taken.
-The Witch-Queen would later make contact with the daughters of her nephew, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], whom took over leadership of the [[Hidden Swarm]] on the [[Moon]] after the death of the latter. As part of her greater schemes, she makes a deal with the four offering two boons; One was the essence of [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment]], to which she had taken from his dying body to be reanimated as a puppet champion for the Daughters' nefarious purposes. The second was the reformation of the Choir, a legendary group of [[Deathsinger]]s to be lead by [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Ir Airâm]]. With both gifts, the Daughters would invest in the construction of the [[Scarlet Keep]] and set the [[Shadowkeep|events]] that would come to pass.
+When three sibling Hive heretics in the [[Hidden Swarm]], Malkanth, Akrazul, and Azavath, sought to rebel against the daughters of Savathun's nephew, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], who had taken over the leadership of the Swarm, Savathun was revealed to be the master behind their situation. As the Wizard Malkanth performed a ritual to put the essence of Akrazul, a crippled Knight, into the body of her fellow Wizard Azavath, the plan backfired. Akrazul's rage was so great that it became unbridled within Azavath's body, leading him to slay Malkanth and assault the Swarm. As Malkanth's essence had left her body in her death, Savathun whispered to Azavath's essence and instructed her to take up the mantle of [[Deathsinger]]. Placing her essence into Malkanth's body, Azavath would become [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger]], killing both Akrazul and the Swarm's champion [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]] with her Deathsong. Savathun captured Zulmak's essence as he died for her own purposes, and discussed with Malkanth's essence, without a body, before she died. The Witch-Queen told Malkanth of her dismissal of gods and "absolutes" such as time, space, and death, when they are all [[Vex|so]] [[Ascendant realm|easily]] [[Guardians|broken]]. Believing that when the final absolute falls reality will face a [[Darkness|final and complete ending]], Savathun said she wished to ensure that end would not come to pass as Malkanth's essence faded away into nothing.
+The Witch-Queen would then make contact with the Daughters of Crota. As part of her greater schemes, she made a deal with the four offering two boons: the essence of [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], to be reanimated as a puppet champion for the Daughters' nefarious purposes, and the reformation of the Choir, a legendary group of Deathsingers to be lead by [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Ir Airâm]]. In turn, the Daughters would invest in the construction of the [[Scarlet Keep]] to draw the Guardians to the [[Moon]] and set the [[Shadowkeep|events]] that would come to pass. However, the Daughters failed to realize that this deal was another deceit of Savathun's; the Witch-Queen, aware that even with the Choir and Zulmak the Guardians would decimate the Hidden Swarm, wanted the Scarlet Keep built as bait to lure in Guardians so that Oryx's bloodline would go extinct, believing it had run its course.
